To observe the neuroprotective and antioxidant activities of the grass carp protein hydrolysates (GPH) obtained from grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) skin by enzymatic hydrolysis. GPH prepared using Protamex, at different (5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 %) degrees of hydrolysis (DH) were investigated. The DPPH radial scavenging, reducing power and inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation activities of GPH were significantly improved by a low DH (5 %) compared with those of GPH with a higher DH (p < 0.05). A low degree of enzymatic hydrolysis was appropriate to obtain GPH with improved neuroprotective activities. These results suggest that the control of the DH may be an effective strategy to modify specific neuroprotective and antioxidant activities of GPH, and GPH has potential as a functional food ingredient for related functional and health benefits.

Background: Pollution of aquatic environments with heavy metals causes severe adverse effects on fish, invertebrates, and human. The importance of this study lies in the fact that long-term ingestion of heavy metal-contaminated fish can result in the accumulation of harmful metals in numerous organs and pose a major risk to human health.
Aim: The current study was designed to investigate the concentrations of toxic arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) in the liver, gills, and muscles of highly consumed aqua cultured common carp ( L.

As a core element of the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS), the Qingtian paddy field carp (Cyprinus carpio, PF-carp) has been domesticated for over 1200 years in paddy field environments. This species has successfully adapted to shallow-water conditions in paddy fields. To reveal the adaptation mechanism, we conducted transcriptome sequencing on the hepatopancreas of PF-carp under two temperature conditions (28 °C and 38 °C) and concurrently analysed RNA-seq data from hypoxic conditions in the same tissue.

For a long time, grass carp culture in China has been severely affected by Grass Carp hemorrhagic disease caused by Grass Carp Reovirus (GCRV). At present, vaccines have been widely used for protecting aquatic organisms against infectious diseases, among which oral immunization with Lactobacillus casei is safe and highly effective. This vaccination route has the advantages of easy administration and noninvasive delivery.
